October 20, 2014 Whirlwind Week

This was definitely a grind week. We went hard in the paint mentally and physically.  We were expecting to have an amazing  Sunday!  We were really excited to have lots of investigators go to church.... but we just got shot down. All of the super sweet pilas people couldn't go-- including  sister Paula who was supposed to get baptized this week.. We don't know what happened. She has gone to church like 6 straight Sundays, and now won't answer her phone.. We went and talked to her son who wouldn't talk to us, and basically told us to go get lost... ah... 

But Sister Mago and her grand daughter went, and afterward said they want to get baptized!! Woot!! :D

A few quick funny stories: first one is that some times some people get onto buses and sing and beg trying to get money and stuff, but this time a group of clowns got on  the bus. Just a little bit about clowns here, they are actually super popular (weird right?) and there are two types:  rude vulgar clowns and then there are kid clowns and these ones were rude ones haha.  So I and muir knew we were screwed, and that these clowns were going to try to embarrass the snot out of us haha.  We were right . These two clowns just attacked us, and they had a dumb act where one tries to kiss me.... hahaha, and then when he was actually going to kiss me i had to like awkwardly push him off me haha. Then he goes at me with his tongue out... hahaha they got a good laugh hahaha. 

Then we got trapped into a lesson with a RC and her drunk husband and then in the middle of the lesson he jumped up and started yelling and charged us, but then to our rescue came drunk number two haha and stopped him and then as they were fighting we slowly snuck our way out with the RC.

Guys hear are terrible!!!!! We are also teaching this 24 year old whose  husband just left her. She was so sad. Talking to us was the only thing that could make her smile... ah we have  6 families like that too. There is a special place for ....men (I was thinking a little stronger word). But at the end of it all we are teaching this super cool little girl named Nicole who has already read 15 chapters in the Book of Mormon!! :D Lets just say she is awesome!

Love you guys have an amazing week :)
